(A) Prior to conducting a business at a location within the city, the applicant shall permit inspections to be made of the prospective place of business by the appropriate departments of the city to ensure compliance with building, safety, zoning and other applicable codes. Applicants are also subject to inspections by the Bear River Health Department to ensure compliance with health regulations. No license shall be granted without the approval of all such required inspections. Pending compliance with the aforesaid codes, the applicant may conduct business by obtaining a temporary permit which shall be valid for a period specified by the city, but not to exceed 30 days. An applicant shall have 30 days in which to comply with such codes and remedy any defects or infractions after receiving written notice thereof from the Department. Existing places of business licensed within the city shall be inspected periodically by departments of the city for compliance with building, fire and health codes. Written notice shall be given by the Department to a licensee upon the finding of any code infractions, which notice shall provide for 30 days in which to correct such infractions, the failure of which shall result in the revocation of the license by the Department.
(B) (1) Upon a showing of good cause therefor, the Division may grant, in writing, an extension of time beyond the 30-day period for compliance to required standards.
(2) The Community Development Director shall request the City Attorney to file a complaint against any applicant or any licensee who continues to conduct business beyond the time limits.
(C) (1) The Community Development Director may designate any employee as an enforcement official.
(2) Authorized officers shall be permitted to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this business regulation title or any other applicable statute or ordinance, and may enter any building or may enter upon any premises during regular business hours; or, if there are no regular business hours, the officers or their authorized representatives shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other persons having charge or control of the building or premises and request entry.
(3) If the property owner or other responsible person refuses to allow the enforcement officers to enter and inspect the property, the officer may obtain and execute a search warrant.
(D) No owner, occupant or any other person having charge, care or control of any building or premises shall fail or neglect, after property request is made as herein provided, to properly permit entry therein by the authorized officer or his or her representative(s) for the purpose of inspection and examination to ensure compliance with this business regulation title.
